RoboRodent posted:Yeah, you know, as someone for whom psychotropic drugs, including an antidepressant, has literally made the difference between "unable to function" and "completing a degree," I am so loving tired of "but they change your personality." No, you know what? Any perceived change in me is not a change in my personality. It's the removal of symptoms that were obscuring my personality. My answer to “But they change your personality” has always been “Good! that’s the reason I’m taking them!” There’s certain things about my personality that I don’t like and if I could change them with the push of a button I’d slam it so hard I’d break the table.

Kennel posted:Comet's tail doesn't tell its direction, Little My, you idiot, you moron. To be fair, if the comet is coming in opposite from the sun, then My's statement is correct. The tail does not imply direction, but it does tell them the relative location of it and them compared to the sun. My has accurately understood that since the comet is currently only visible at night, it's coming in from the outer solar system and is on a similar orbital plane as them, which would have the tail facing away from them. Combine that with it growing brighter, and she reasonably assumes that it's heading towards them. I wonder if the Skjellerup–Maristany comet inspired the story, as it was visible for over a month in 1927, and Tove would have been around 12-13 when it happened. They're things you tend to remember, I can still vaguely remember my parents bringing us kids out a couple nights to see Hyakutake/The great comet of 1996 when that was happening.

I really don’t think the Overboard guy has ever seen a physical object in his life. Everything looks like someone else described it to him and he just kinda guessed from there. That boat! That grill! That...tricorner hat? I don’t even know. I think about that octopus all the time. And I want to say thank you for picking up Computoon! It’s my favorite incomprehensible comic and the one Mr. Music asks me to show him every day. I also want to take a moment for Smokey Stover. It is so dense with gags that it gets a little busy, but I am absolutely enamored with all these ridiculous chairs and the background gags with all the framed pictures. Absolutely bonkers and a real joy to read, gj Selachian for posting it and finding it in the first place. Classic Zits

JethroMcB posted:In 1979, the Three Mile Island nuclear power station near Harrisburg, PA suffered a partial meltdown that permanently disabled one of the reactors. It was, and remains, the most significant nuclear accident in American history although (relatively speaking) it was a very mild incident. Local radiation exposure was roughly equivalent to a single medical X-Ray, and there was a modest release of radioactive material that couldn't even be detected in air/soil/water samples just days later. Most long-term studies have not found a significant increase in cancer or other radiation-linked diseases in areas surrounding the plant in the years since, but due to the heightened media coverage at the time it served as a flashpoint for anti-nuclear activists in the US and shorthand for the perceived dangers of nuclear power.

And I bet Reed Richards or Tony Stark could crank out a better than new arm for you in an afternoons worth of work. Given all the fantastic tech around in the marvle universe it's probably the most unbelievable thing how they have scarcity issues at all. Though one could say the same for real life I guess.

Haifisch posted:1979 comics As funny as it would be for an attempted crime to be foiled because the robbers only distracted the cop's son rather than the actual cop I'm going to guess the actual explanation for this discrepancy is going to be something much dumber. quote:I'm not sure what "leading the escape" is supposed to mean in the context of a plan that the Kingpin obviously developed by himself and it's genuinely hard to guess whether he's trying to flatter Nino into becoming his goon or setting him up to take the fall. His Divine Shadow posted:Jesus man aren't there hundreds of cyborgs running around in your world? Getting a new arm seems equivalent to going shopping. And I bet Reed Richards or Tony Stark could crank out a better than new arm for you in an afternoons worth of work. That sounds like socialism. Where would super science be if Reed Richards and Tony Stark ran around just giving new arms to scientists who are perfectly capable of inventing their own?

Dinky Dinkerton, Flyin' Jenny, and The Red Knight Oct. 28th, 1940   I just want to note, The Evening Star added a new comic, Bertram, that is currently just above The Red Knight, and it is just... literally the first one has some racism against the Chinese and its just gone downhill from there. Ugh, I hope The Evening Star drops it as fast as it did The Shadow. I hate looking at it. Axa   Galen's such an rear end in a top hat, you'd think Axa dated him.

This is the only Roger Wilco ad I've seen, so perhaps the Powerhouse people decided to focus their ad budget somewhere else, leaving a frustrated commercial artist's dream of an entire Roger Wilco Universe to wither and die. Anyway, it's not like an amusing character who has adventures that vaguely involve the advertised product is a new or unusual ad genre. Here's another one I have sitting around:  Deathless Deer 12/17-19/42
